DRYAGENTACGLSED OF “ISCONDUCT” Administrator at Albany.1 N. Y., Under Charge That | May Bring Dismissal. By the Associated Press. | George Golding, prohibition adminis- | trator at Albany, N. Y., was under in- definite suspension today on charges | involving personal misconduct, which, | if sustained, will result in his dismissal | from the service. | Prohibition Director Woodcock, who announced yesterday he would punish | illegal personal behavior of agents, said Golding was charged with misconduct | with several stenographers in his office. | The charges, brought by the girls them- selves, are now on file with the Civil Service Commission, which has power to oust the administrator from the Gov- | emment service. Charges Filed July 15. ‘Woodcock said the charges were first made last July 15 and that a thorough investigation had been made which Jed | him to believe the girls involved were in “no way to blame." ‘Two other agents, Robert P, rtle of Milwaukee and Basil N. Quinn of ‘Washington, D. C., were given five-day suspensions vesterday for their be- havior in quarrels with motorists over traffic rules. Myrtle, the director said, attempted to arrest a motorist and drew a gun when asked to show his authority. Quinn was said to have struck a driver | and taken him to police station, exceed- ing his authority. Acknowledging the penalties to be mild, Woodcock said, he sought through these punishments to check abuses and promised more stern measures if neces- sary. Golding Ciassed as “Hard Boiled.” ‘The dry chief refused to go into de- Rafls of the Golding case. He said the ~ administrator's record, on the whole, appeared to be good. Golding, who has been in Albany for about two years, won the nickname of “Hard-Boiled” Golding for earlier exploits in the dry campaign. He was assigned to Wash- ington for a time in 1924 when a clean- up of violators was under way in the Capital.
